Abstract

Behavioral treatments focus exclusively on modifying environmental contexts/contingencies and patterns of behavior that presumably exacerbate symptoms and functional impairment. Cognitive-behavioral treatments (CBTs), by comparison, include a focus on behavior modification and an emphasis on modifying maladaptive patterns of thinking. There are central elements of CBT and self-management which cut across treatment for specific psychiatric disorders and headache disorders. In many cases, insomnia and headache occurs when there is another problem, such as stress, pain, or a medical condition. In these cases, treatment of the underlying problem may help to improve sleep. In other cases, the causative factor of insomnia is unclear or the insomnia does not improve even after the treatment of the co-existing problem. Hence, the insomnia itself requires to be particularly treated.

Abstract

The term “mental health” often scares people but put simply mental health is about the way we think and feel about ourselves and others and how we manage the demands of everyday life. From the perspective of 'positive psychology' or 'holism', mental health may include an individual's ability to enjoy life, and create a balance between life activities and efforts to achieve psychological resilience. Mental health can also be defined as an expression of emotions, and as signifying a successful adaptation to a range of demands. So this article may represent a current scenario of the clinical psychologist in CMH.

(1998) and Achievement Motivation Scale by Bhargav (1994) To test the hypotheses statistical methods like Pearson product moment correlation and 'f test were used. The correlation between EI and Achievement Motivation was found r=.384**, which show significant positive correlation between Emotional Intelligence and Achievement Motivation of College students. Computed 't'=2.24* indicates gender differences on emotional intelligence, females score higher than males on Emotional intelligence, where as gender difference was not found on achievement motivation, as 't'=.029 is not significant.

Abstract

The aim of the present research was to study fear of missing out (FOMO), narcissism, emotional regulation and social networking addiction among social networking sites (SNS) users which includes Facebook, WhatsApp, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, etc. The sample (N=64) of SNS users was collected from Pune city through the purposive sampling technique. The sample used in this research ranged from 17 to 21 years (mean age=18.89 years). The tools used in this research were the Fear of Missing out Scale (FoMO) by Przybylski et al. (2013); the Narcissistic Personality Inventory (NPI-16) by Daniel Ames et al. (2006); Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ) by Gross et al. (2003); and Social Networking Addiction Scale by Shahnawaz, Ganguly, and Zou. The findings showed that impulsivity was positively correlated with fear of missing out as a characteristic of social networking addiction (r= 0.314, p < 0.05). Also, impulsivity was positively correlated with narcissism (r=0.261, p < 0.05). Impulsivity and cognitive reappraisal were negatively correlated with each other (r= - 0.277, p < 0.05). Social networking addiction and fear of missing out were positively correlated with each other (r=0.254, p < 0.05). Also, social networking addiction and cognitive reappraisal negatively correlated with each other (r= -0.286, p < 0.05). Further, the regression analysis shows that fear of missing out predicts 9.8 % of impulsivity in social networking addiction (r square= 0.098). Fear of missing out and cognitive reappraisal together predicted 19 % of impulsivity in social networking addiction (r square= 0.190).

Abstract

In our day to day social interactions, most of us have probably lied to someone at some point in time. We lie for a wide variety of reasons; some being the so-called 'white lies” that may seem trivial, others where the consequences of detection might be grave, as in cases involving the law. While some of us might succeed in deceiving others, some fail since many variables tend to contribute to this success or failure. In this light, the present pilot study investigated the difference in one's confidence in their ability to lie before and after telling a lie. They were also compared on self­ reported anxiety, guilt, and mental demand. The sample included participants aged 20-30 years, middle class, from the urban population of Pune, Maharashtra (India). Data was gathered for two tasks namely, emotion and opinion. The participants were presented with the tasks and were given the choice of either lying or telling the truth about their feelings (emotion) and their opinions (opinion) in front of the interviewer which was simultaneously video recorded. t-test analysis indicated a significant difference in confidence levels for the opinion task, along with anxiety, guilt, and mental demand. The results have been discussed in the light of its implication. The limitations of the study and suggestions for further research have also been noted.
